PAPER BOX.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 306,620, dated. October14, 1884.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GUSTAV L. J AEGER, a citizen of the United States,residing at New York, in the county and State of New York, have inventednew and useful Improvements in Paper Boxes, of which the following is aspecification.

The invention relates especially to boxes for packing cigarettes; and itconsists in the novel features of constructionhereinafter described andclaimed, whereby an article of superior utility is obtained. l

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the bank usedin the manufacture of my box. Fig. 2 is a cross-section of the box. Fig.3 is alongitudinal section thereof. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of thesame, showing the closing-flap thrown open. Figs. 5, 6, and 7 illustratea modification.

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

The letter A designates the body of the box, which is similar in shapeto the boxes common] y used for packing cigarettes, and is left open atone end, to be closed by means of a flap, B, the latter being arrangedon one side of the box to be inserted beneath the opposite side thereof,as shown in Fig. 3. Adjacent to one of the short sides of this box A isa partition, 0, forming a compartment, 0, for the reception of acigaretteholder or other similar article, this compartment extending theentire length of the box, and being accessible from its open end. Thepartition 0 is integral with a second partition, D, which is adjacent tothe side of the box opposite the flap B, and approximately coincideswith the open end of the box, so that when the closing-flap B is put inplace it abuts against the end of the partition, causing the latter toact as a shield for keeping the flap out of contact with the contents ofthe box, which is a very desirable feature when the box is used forholding cigarettes, this partition or shield also facilitating theintroduction of the free end of the flap beneath the proper side of thebox.

The entire box, including the integral partitions O D, is made in onepiece, as shown in Figs. 2, 3, and 4., the selected material being cutto the shape of the blank shown in Fig. 1, and being properly bent andunited by paste or other suitable means; but the integral partitions O Dmay also be made separate and properly fastened in the box, as shown inFig. 7, the box-blank in that case being of the shape shown in Fig. 5and the partition-blank of the shape shown in Fig. 6.

WVhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A paper box having a closing flap, B, and an interior shield, D, atone side, constructed at one edge into a partition, 0, extending acrossthe box adjacent to one side to form the compartment 0, substantially asdescribed.

2. A paper box, A, having a closing-flap, B, and an interior shield, D,at one side, and bent laterally at one edge portion to form thepartition 0 across the box adjacent to one side thereof for creating thecompartment 0, substantially as described.

. 3. A paper box consisting of the box-body A, having the attachedclosing flap B at one side, and the interior shield, D, at the oppositeside to keep the flap out of contact with the contents of the box, saidshield having one edge portion bent across the box adjacent to one sideto form the transverse partition 0, substantially as described.

4. A paper box having an open end pro vided with a closing-flap, andhaving the integral partitions O D, one forming a compartment and theother a shield, substantially as shown and described.

5. A paper box having an open end provided with a closing-flap, andhaving the illtegral partitions made in one piece therewith, one suchpartition forming a compartment and the other a shield, substantially asshown and described.

6. A box having an interior partition formed integral with the blank ofwhich the box is made, and arranged longitudinally of the structure soas to produce two separate parallel compartments, and a flap arranged tocover both compartments.

7. A box having a partition which, with three of the sides of the box,forms a supplemental compartment, an interior wall which, with one ofthe sides of the box, forms a pocket, and an end flap provided with aclosing tongue for insertion within said pocket, the whole structurebeing made from a single blank.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal in'thepresence of two subscribing witnesses.
